Damn TS3 was still kinda wet behind the ears and maybe even still in beta last time I played with it. I only used it for one group and I cut ties with them.

I never even used it, I only know TS2 and it’s purplish, super basic ugly interface. (If anyone even remembers that- would’ve been back in mid to late 00s)

I haven’t gotten an Instagram link in even longer, so it might just be both of them.

I’ve had that problem. But more often I have them correctly opening, but they start autoplaying muted by default. So I would have to frantically search for the unmute button or volume slider as fast as I can before I miss more than 2 or 3 sentences.

If it takes too long, then I probably didn’t wanna watch it anyway. I always hated it because it would throw banners at me advertising the app, which I expressly do not want. I had it downloaded one time for about 10 minutes on my last phone, and felt the ick immediately.

I don’t get them often, and typically only as discord channel messages. Lately they’re embedded so I don’t need to open them in a browser. It seems to be working now, but it was a mess for a while.

I have never (not asking for info, I can look it up) seen it, just heard it mentioned by name. Couldn’t tell you the actors or even the genre off hand.

But I can tell you that every time I hear the movie my brain (for juuuust a second) always thinks it’s a Star Trek movie that’s specifically about pon farr.

For those not in the know, Vulcans (aka the race of aliens that Spock belongs to), while very disciplined, will get super horny every 7 years. So horny that they will just up and die if they don’t bust a nut and for whatever reason they can’t just take care of it themselves.

Now I’m no kid from the 60s, but I did hear of it first with Tuvok in the Voyager series. And now that reference is just as dated now as the original show was when I watched Voyager. And I just had a whole existential moment between those 2 sentences in this paragraph. I’m so old now.

I still think 90s when I hear 8-9 years ago.

I feel like I (and probably a lot people now) don’t have a clue what most of their emails are. I don’t subscribe to anything anymore. I have no reason to routinely check it.

It’s just where receipts and account management messages (verification codes, click here to finish logging in type stuff), along with automated reminders of activities that have happened it need to happen. I haven’t checked email that wasn’t a log in thing for a very long time. And even then it was probably to check a record of some sort.

It used to be used as a primary communication protocol, now it’s just the account you need to have to make an account on what you’ll actually use.

Has anyone used it intentionally for anything more than that in the last 10 years? Personal email I mean, not for work email.

But the real one, not the rebooted mac.

My brain has an aneurysm. It totally is, but Imma pretend for the sake of the comment that it was the Dreamcast.

Yeah I’m not exactly happy about that either.

I was trying to stay on topic about this. That’s a whole different rant.

Plus, things spread before they get worse. This is a line that shouldn’t be crossed by anything in any way. The inside of my car is a nice little island. It should stay that way.

I feel pretty much everybody would agree with that. Even the ones open to it probably just want to make the money from it without having to deal with it themselves.

I had never heard of Stellantis until the comments on this post.

That’s at least a little good news, but I want day-after total zero existence for stunts like this.

As in executed the day after murder kind of immediate punishment. In this case, total, irrevocable punishment.

C suite people literally living in shelters fighting for leftovers at a food bank after paying out years of employee salaries and benefits kind of punishment.

You can’t just fine people like this for crimes. You have to actually take away money and the ability to accrue more than enough to live on.

Way to go out of your way to fail at shitting on American defaultism.

Epic fail bozo lmao

Hold up. First of all, the word you want is “fewer” buttons.

Secondly, that’s still just incorrect. There aren’t fewer buttons.

I’ve actually used that.

I love the concept of getting rid of the 3 prong disaster, but the past of me that gets given absolutely nuts by asymmetry gates the way it feels in my hand.

It gets partial credit for at least making it fully wield-able, but drive nothing to advantage of it (because it couldn’t since this was like .000000001% of all controllers made), the benefit was useless, and the downside hurt even more because of that.

The actual Dreamcast controller was a fucking mess, fight me about it. Such a garbage blob.

Even if Biden had been as “out to lunch” as they all claimed (which was so crazy it hurt to see), even if he was worse, then at least the people around him knew what they were doing.

We’re instead now surrounded by people like the crazy drunk fox news weekend host Hegseth and "one of the victors re-writing history Patel.

These aren’t even serious enough people to have a conversation with. I legit think they would devolve immediately into literally saying “hurr durrr” if asked about their behavior for more than a couple minutes.

Saying “before x” and giving the amount of time kinda implies unskippable.

Welp every manufacturer that shows this should go down immediately upon first offense.

Not even kidding, this should be corporate suicide.

Dodge and Jeep are (well Jeep already was tbh) both firmly on the “actively speak out against” list. If I was in a place of hugely inflated power, I would dismantle the entire company, and sell it to whoever that company likes the least.

This should honestly be a brand ending scenario in less than 5 seconds after the first ad. CEO should be in the bread line TODAY from getting hit with this.

ABSOLUTE zero tolerance. There are no valid arguments against this and I will die on this hill.

And that’s fine if you use only 1 or 2 cards. Past that and it gets a little much for most people.

Man me and the boys used to sing that song all the time and wait an uncomfortably long time to add the 3 for dramatic effect.

Keep ass. That’s all I see when I see that mentioned.
